“Brian and Rita are very knowledgeable of pets and we have always had great boarding for our do, who has separation anxiety. Not so when she stays with them, she is excited to see them and Rita always sends such great photos. Truly a blessing for us and Winnie👏😉”
“Emily was wonderful. My doodle has some anxiety about new places. From the pictures Emily sent she looked completely relaxed and comfortable! I appreciate the communication throughout the time we were gone.”
“Kelsey was amazing at keeping us informed and taking wonderful care of our pups! It was our first trip away from them so I think we were more nervous, but really had no reason! Plenty of pics to show our dogs were in safe hands. We’re so happy we found her and look forward to having Ozzy and Sammy with her again! Thank you!!!”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”
“Loni did a great job taking care of Hunter! She sent pictures and updates daily. Hunter was very tired after his stay from playing with the other dogs. I appreciated her prompt communication also. Thank you, Loni! :)”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“So glad that I found Angela! Leonard, my dachshund, had a ball. We are working to socialize him, and Angela provided him with opportunities to walk and play with a friend. Leonard has separation anxiety, and I am just starting to leave him with sitters. Angela is great. On pickup, I think Leonard was hoping that I was there to stay and join the fun!”
“Great communication! Sent lots of pictures and a couple videos. Made me feel like they were treating my dog like family. Loki got plenty of exercise and attention. Great people. Would book with them again!”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“Lauren looked after my baby while I was out of town, I was nervous because it was his first time spending the night away from me, but it’s safe to say that he had the time of his life! He was able to socialize with other dogs which was definitely a plus for me, she was also super sweet and professional. So happy to have found her ❤️”
“Sally was an amazing sitter! She let us bring our dogs over to her house to meet her before we booked to make sure we felt comfortable boarding them with her. She also sent us pictures and videos of our dogs while we were on our trip like we asked her to. Our dogs were in good hands with Sally!”
“12/10! She and her husband took in my zoo last minute, was super communicative and sensitive to any needs the had. My Newfie and English bully absolutely adores her golden and was even able to have a little birthday treat for her golden while there🤩 She is my go to now, 100%. Thanks for everything!”
“Will and Bibiana were awesome. Responsive, kind, and sent photos while we were apart from our dog. Luna was clearly relaxed and well attended to in their home.”
“Jasmine was great! She was super easy to communicate with, and made it super easy to coordinate drop off and pick up times. She took great care of Gus and kept us updated throughout the stay. It really was nice knowing she had kids to play with the dogs and give him lots of hugs. I highly recommend Jasmine and will use her again!”
“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”
“Shorey had a great time staying with Nicole! She was able to play outside a lot with Nicole’s pup and was tuckered out when she got home, which was great! Great communication the entire time.”
“We know our dog is being left in the best of care when he goes Rachelle’s house. He absolutely loves going, and sometimes I think he doesn’t want to come home! We love Rachelle!”
“Our Georgie was the lucky pup to receive Kassi's love and attention and we are so lucky to have found her! It was a fabulous experience. She was easy and fast to communicate with, took so many photos that she shared and listened to routines and general pup rules. This was his first time away from the family as a young pup and did so great. It's the perfect person to watch your dog: a large fenced yard with the loving care of an experienced dog owner. We will be requesting her time and again in the future!”

Alex is an amazing pup sitter! We left our 1-1/2 year old golden retriever with her for a few days, and he seemed happy and content there. Alex sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog happily playing with her dog in their nice fenced-in back yard. Our pup seemed to especially enjoy the big basket of dog toys she had available! I’d highly recommend Alex if you need a place for your pooch to stay, worry-free.
We were really nervous about leaving Ollio with someone we didn’t know before, but already at our first meeting with Kristin,her wonderful family,and their warm home,we knew that Ollio would be in great hands with them. This was confirmed every day by the photos and videos that Kristin thoughtfully sent us. She answered every question we had quickly, with a lot of patience and care. Kristin and Nate,along with their kids,are true dog lovers! Thank you so much! I will definitely hire Kristin again!
Ishlamar was very accommodating and listened to all of our needs for our pup, Sadie. She also was very communicative and sent regular updates with photos throughout the entire weekend. Sadie seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would absolutely book with Ishlamar again in the future!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Delaware on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 893 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Delaware. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Delaware sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Delaware landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Delaware home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Delaware.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Delaware sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
